Budget Savvy Wedding Planning

I love crazy, unique weddings and Halloween is definitely one of those wedding themes that can get really overdone – really fast.  But Halloween weddings can also be a lot of fun! If you’re planning a wedding around Halloween, here are a few tasteful but still unique ideas that I am in love with.

I LOVE this bouquet!  Black thistles and feathers give these red roses a rock start twist perfect for a classy halloween wedding.  This would pair very well with a wedding dress with black accents as well.  Photo by Elizabeth Vanderbij Photography, Bouquet by Wild Orchid Flower Shop.

This vintage Halloween Wedding scheme is fabulous!  A color scheme of blood red and black paired with vintage lace, antique candle holders,  traditional damask patterns and classic candies creates a gorgeous wedding inspiration board perfect for a classy Halloween wedding. Found on BridalBuds

Some of my favorite budget friendly ideas for a classy Halloween wedding:

The vellum shades shown here feature a beautiful damask print. For a Halloween wedding, I would purchase wine glasses at local thrift shops and spray paint them either black or a deep red, depending on your color scheme.  For an affordable centerpiece, combine three glasses in different sizes on each table and sprinkle rose petals underneith. The shades cost about .83 each from Beau-coup.   The Damask Print Votive Holders sell for as little as $1.60 each from Beau-coup and can be used as part of your decor, as a wedding favor, or both.  Use a black or red candle in each holder for a darker look.

These mini martini glasses are adorable and are the perfect way to serve a blood red Halloween signature drink. I love how they have them shown here with a blackberry and raspberry for garnish – fantastic. These are as low as $3.60 each from Beau-coup.  The glasses could also be used as a wedding favor for your guests to take home at the end of the night. The black and white flower cones are $2.25 from Beau-coup and would be beautiful as pew ends for a Halloween wedding. You could use double sided tape to attach them to each pew – or punch a small hole in the top of each and add a red or black ribbon to hang them with.

And last but not least – Halloween Paper Lanterns   These are a little more traditionally Halloween but still pretty classy – $3.50 each from Beau-coup.
